They are cheap and plentiful enough that you can buy a really nice one. 6MT, Z51, lowish miles, cool color, later model....cant really spend more than 20k even if you try on a non z06. 15k buys a nice one.
I prefer the aesthetics of the C5 over the C4 or C6 or C7. I like the coupe better than the fast/hatchback, although I'm sure the later is more practical.

I've never been in one, but I have to imagine that compared to a Porsche, the interior and non-mechanical build quality would be lacking.
